¡Hola! Estudio español desde 4 años. ¿También piensáis que los españoles hablan tan rapido, que no se puede entender? ¡Que tengáis un bien día! ¡Hola! He notado esto antes jaja. Mis parientes son de Cuba y a menudo tengo problemas con entenderlos. Puedo entender mejor cuando la gente habla despacio.

Re: Last word you learned in a foreign language
I learned the Spanish word cafetal, which means “coffee plantation”. I found out what it meant because my great-grandmother was talking about the coffee plantation that her mother owned in Cuba.
